Chapter 155: Dreams and Reality (Part 2) So this is the life I prayed for...

Xuanye only felt that his body became very light. He didn't know how long he had been walking. The surrounding scenery became very blurry. His mind went from clear to confused. After crossing a bridge, he became clear again.

"The Supreme Ruler, the Chosen One of Heaven, must eventually drink this Meng Po soup." The old woman smiled as she handed a bowl of colorful soup to Xuanye. "Forget the past, and be reincarnated."

Xuanye picked up the bowl of soup and brought it to his mouth, but he hesitated: "If I don't remember the past, I will forget everything."

"A new life, free from worries." The old woman showed some patience towards the Emperor. "Drink."

"There are things, people, I don't want to forget." Xuanye slowly put down the bowl. "Mother-in-law, if you have a solution, I'm willing to trade anything for it."

The image of the old woman gradually became blurred, the surrounding scene changed, and a handsome scholar in a green robe appeared in front of Xuanye.

"Don't you forget the past?" the young man sneered. "You're too attached to your status as the supreme ruler. What else can you offer in exchange for my Yama Palace?"

Xuanye looked directly at the young man and said, "I only wish to see Yu'er in every life. I have no other wishes."

"You're quite the infatuated one." The young man lowered his head, looking at the thumb and index finger of his right hand rubbing up and down. A hint of tenderness suddenly appeared in his originally cold eyes. "Enter the cycle of reincarnation, but, eternal life will be spent in this cycle of reincarnation. Are you willing?"

"That previous incident..."

"I naturally won't remember the past." The young man put his hands behind his back, having made up his mind. "Even if I don't remember the past, we can still meet in every life. Isn't that great?"

"I do!"

Xuanye sat up suddenly, the scene just now still echoing in his mind.

Xiu Yu naturally woke up as well. She stood up and gently held Xuanye's hand, saying, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"It wasn't a nightmare." Xuanye came back to his senses, looked sideways at Xiu Yu, and said, "Yu'er, do you believe that you and I will be husband and wife for eternity?"

"Hmm?" Xiu Yu was stunned for a moment. "Being husband and wife for life?"

"Yes." Xuanye was very serious. "Do you want to be my Concubine Yi for eternity?"

Xiu Yu was stunned, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. After all, she wasn't originally from this world, and she couldn't have been suddenly dragged here for some strange reason. "How do you want me to answer this question?"

Xuanye looked very serious. "I just want to ask, are you happy when you are with me? If you could live like this for the rest of your life, would you be willing?"

Xiu Yu looked into Xuanye's eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty, I really like looking into your eyes. Do you know what this means?"

Xuanye certainly knew what this meant. He had had many women, but only Xiuyu was the one he was willing to gaze into her eyes, eyes filled with affection. "Of course I know." He held Xiuyu tightly in his arms. "Thank you, thank you for being willing to spend the rest of your lives with me. I am willing too. No matter what happens, as long as I have you by my side, it is enough."

Xiu Yu hugged Xuan Ye back and said after a while, "Why did you suddenly think of saying this? What did you dream about?"

Xuanye gently stroked the back of Xiuyu's head and said with a smile, "I dreamed that after my death, I went to the underworld and negotiated this deal with King Yama. For eternity, in my reincarnation, I will meet you again."
